Raising the health and wellbeing of our immigrant communities.
RaisingHealth Partners is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing and self-advocacy of local immigrant communities.
We recognize how important health and wellbeing is to a person’s overall quality of life—and how challenging that can be without access to necessary resources. That’s where we come in.
Our community members can receive culturally-competent health, education, and community building services, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity, documentation status, and any other discriminatory factor.

We know how difficult being in a new country can be, which is why we work hard to assist our community members through providing valuable connections and health and social resources.
About Us
The Academy of Medical & Public Health Services was founded in 2010 in response to the challenges that our founders faced as first-generation children who struggled with personal family losses that reflected the stark realities of the healthcare system facing immigrant families. The goal was to create a safe space that could help immigrants access equitable healthcare, language support, and decision-making power, regardless of immigration status, in a way that these families never had when they were ill.
Renamed RaisingHealth in 2022, we continue to support and sustain the well-being of immigrant communities through culturally-competent health, education, and community-building programs across communities.
